Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the increased rating claims for the Veteran's bilateral knee strain with osteoarthritis with shin splints disability to afford him a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The November 2022 VA examination was incomplete as it did not provide an estimated loss of range of motion during flare-ups or after repeated use, and thus a remand is needed for a new examination.
